The asymptotic concentration of the Fr{é}chet mean of IID random variables on a Rieman-nian manifold was established with a central limit theorem by Bhattacharya \& Patrangenaru (BP-CLT) [6]. This asymptotic result shows that the Fr{é}chet mean behaves almost as the usual Euclidean case for sufficiently concentrated di…
